He had been one of the most powerful demons when the Charmed ones had been the strongest group of witches. He had almost had them beaten, until he’d absorbed the Nexus and they’d banished it, meaning he was taken along with it. Now, although he didn’t know it; a new generation of witch-whitelighters had taken over.Zankou had reawakened – someone had revived him – and he was standing in a dark room, which he assumed was somewhere in the Underworld, though he wasn’t sure (it may have been an apartment) and he was confused. “Where am I?!” Zankou hissed when he saw someone. “Why did you bring me back?”

Meanwhile, Wyatt Halliwell was practicing making potions, the one thing about magic he still struggled with. He was standing at the stove, putting ingredients into a boiling pot of water and let out a sigh when it stayed the same.“Damn it,” he muttered. “Why won’t you work?”

The black haired half-demon smirked, the spell had worked! He had brought back the power that would allow him to take revenge on the witch-whitelighters that had taken his father from him. "My apartment... I brought you back because I need your help..." He gave an almost mocking bow. "My father was the powerful demon Darwin... And he was taken away by from me... By what the underworld is calling the new Charmed Ones."

Chris Haillwell laughed softly as he watched his brother fret over the potion. For all the power he had, his brother sucked at making potions and that was one thing he took comfort in. "Did you add them in order Wy?" He teased his brother, he used his powers to bring the book over to him. "What are you making this time?"

Zankou glared in response to the bow before looking around, taking in his surroundings. Darwin? Having lived so long before the Nexus incident, he'd heard of and even worked with him a couple of times, but he was surprised to hear Darwin was gone...and that he had a son.

"What new Charmed ones? Are the sisters gone?"

~~~

Wyatt pulled a face before replying to his brother, still staring down at the potion. "Of course I did," he lied. "Give that back!" He reached a hand out to try grab the book before it disappeared, making an irritated sound as it appeared by Chris. "Just a luck potion, nothing super complicated."

Zankou growled, but nodded, knowing he was right. He hoped though that the other demon didn't know that the spells for bringing demons back to life usually meant the one revived had to do as the spellcaster wanted. It was an old piece of magic and Zankou hated it, though he was glad to be back if it meant he had a chance to get revenge on the Halliwells. "Fine."

~~~

"I didn't!" Wyatt replied, although the way he said it made it obvious he was lying.

"My father was told by a seer that one day he'd have three children, one with the power of Wind, one with power of Water and one with power of Lightning..." Peter paused as he showed a lightning ball in his hands. "These three would have the powers to be as a storm and spread darkness... I have two siblings, my sister Elizabeth and my brother Jacob... We are supposed to be that Thunderstorm... But without my father we could be taken out by the witch-lighters before we're strong enough.... Thats why I need your power."

Zankou tilted his head as he listened, eyes lighting up when Peter showed him the lightning ball. "Interesting... So what exactly do you want me to do? I'm not a bodyguard for hire or anything like that."

Wyatt hugged him back with one arm. "Mostly because you helped though."
